How We Think (LARGE PRINT EDITION)

""How We Think"" by John Dewey is a book that explores the process of thinking and how it influences our actions and decisions. In this large print edition, Dewey provides a comprehensive analysis of the cognitive processes involved in problem-solving, decision-making, and creativity. He argues that thinking is not a static process, but rather a dynamic and interactive one that involves a constant exchange between the individual and their environment. The book also discusses the role of education in developing critical thinking skills and promoting intellectual growth. Overall, ""How We Think"" is a thought-provoking and insightful read that offers valuable insights into the nature of human cognition.(LARGE PRINT EDITION) 1910. Dewey, Professor of Philosophy in Columbia University writes: Our schools are troubled with a multiplication of studies, each in turn having its own multiplication of materials and principles. Our teachers find their tasks made heavier in that they have come to deal with pupils individually and not merely in mass. Unless these steps in advance are to end in distraction, some clue of unity, some principle that makes for simplification must be found. This book represents the conviction that the needed steadying and centralizing factor is found in adopting as the end of endeavor that attitude of mind, that habit of thought, which we call scientific. This scientific attitude of mind might, conceivably, be quite irrelevant to teaching children and youth. But this book also represents the conviction that such is not the case; that the native and unspoiled attitude of childhood, marked by ardent curiosity, fertile imagination, and love of experimental inquiry is near, very near, to the attitude of the scientific mind.
